A week in Paris - with a side trip to Reims; 6/8/2017-6/14/2017: Tasting event at De Vinis Illustribus (Paris). We ended the tasting with a birth year wine in celebration of our friend's 50th birthday. Served from magnum - cork came out in one piece and wine was still very much alive. It started out a little reticent but improved with air. Fruit and acid are still quite youthful, color has some bricking. With time in the glass, cedar and leather start to show along with the red fruits. Good, but made better by the occasion and celebration.
